very reliable
I have owned the wired version of this router for 6 years without problems. I recently needed to go wireless and bought a new router, not a Draytek. It was awful, kept dropping the line. It was returned and I decided to look for the wireless version of the Draytek on eBay. Fortunately, I found one. I have had it for a week now and it hasn't given me any problems at all and cost me far less than the new one did. I would never purchase another make again, great.

Nice idea, shame about the weather!
The idea behind this DVD is to show Scotland’s coastline from the vantage point of a helicopter. It’s a good idea, as it should, in theory, be able to show us the structure of the land from a viewpoint not normally experienced by tourists, or, indeed, residents. One imagines the beauty of the cliffs, the changing light around the myriad of western islands, the mountains plunging down to the sea, etc., etc.
One also imagines the photography would be done on days when the quality of the light helps to show this magnificence to best advantage, but not in this film! Most days are utterly dreary, with low cloud and poor visibility – everything is grey and dismal. Anyone who knows Scotland and accepts it for what it is knows that there are a lot of days like this North of the border, but it isn’t what you want to see on a DVD which, presumably, wants to celebrate the best features of this marvellous land.
The voice over doesn’t help either – a quietly spoken monotone (with almost no enthusiasm whatsoever) drearily dirges along, combining with the greyness of the scene and the often repetitive digitally generated ‘music’ loops to induce sleep within a few minutes, maximum.
If you like greyness combined with poor visibility and you are fond of one-note monologues, then this is for you. If you are an insomniac, then, again, this is for you. There is, however, one wonderful recommendation for this DVD: if you love Scotland and want to cut down the number of summer visitors, send them all a copy of this DVD. I feel sure that Scotland would be returned to it’s natural lonely grandeur if you do!
